law The Top 6 Anti-Immigration Activists Caught Using Illegal Labor

Anti-Immigration activists are staunchly against anybody coming into the U.S. and "taking our jobs". They believe in the true American values... of hypocrisy, under-paying hard workers and and breaking a little something we all like to call "the law." Well, at least the biggest supporters of anti-immigration policies do. Here are the most gloriously, ironically incriminating cases of people who've been caught in the act of breaking the laws they spend their entire careers touting.

From liberal to conservative, anti-immigration activists have inspired many racist political campaigns and supported many amnesty-free methods of either deporting or criminalizing illegal workers instead of actually wanting to fix the problem itself.

Lou Dobbs

Lou Dobbs who, among other things, has hosted a nightly show on CNN for years making millions of dollars off of demonizing illegal immigration, denying the necessity for amnesty and condemning anyone that stands for labor-outsourcing, foreign worker programs and even blaming foreigners for bringing 7,000 new cases of Leprosy to the U.S.

Here's a scary thought, he is now possibly in the running to campaign for senator or president and is probably one of the most anti-immigration people in the political spectrum today, which is why he is #1 on this list.

To maintain his lavish properties and award-winning horses and horse stables clean and well-kept, he must be practicing what he preaches, right? Paying full-price for housekeepers, landscapers and stablekeepers, etc. Once again showing that not only does he have little to no respect for immigrants, but that he has even less for morality, Dobbs employed illegal workers to maintain his stables and homes.

Dobbs apparently even introduced himself to the workers as "Luis".

He knew full well that the workers were undocumented, but it was said that this was never a problem. Apparently it wasn't because the show-jumping horses were successful at many big competitions, which, in case you didn't know, actually trumps "the law" and makes anything you do to achieve those means legal. Loophole!

Something tells me that his campaign for Senator and/or President might not go too well now.

Meg Whitman

As the Republican candidate in the race to succeed Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger as Governor of California and former CEO of eBay.com, Meg Whitman has illustrated her stance on illegal immigrants time and time again: no illegal immigrant should gain amnesty and that she’ll crack down on employers who break the law employing illegal labor.

Here are two very strong quotes from Whitman regarding Illegal Immigrants:

"I am 100 percent against amnesty for illegal immigrants. Period. As governor, I will crack down on so-called sanctuary cities like San Francisco who thumb their nose at our laws. Illegal immigrants should not expect benefits from the State of California. No driver’s license and no admission to state-funded institutions of higher education. And I’ll create an economic fence to crack down on employers who break the law by using illegal labor." ( Source )

Well, unfortunately, she has to crack down on herself. Her housekeeper, whom she employed for a total of nine years, was here in the U.S. illegally. Whitman and her campaign maintain that the housekeeper presented what was considered acceptable documentation of legal employment and that any issue was never questioned and addressed... for nine years.

No one but Meg Whitman knows why she felt obligated to fire her illegal housekeeper at the worst time possible: right at the time of her debate with Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Jerry Brown... which was aired on Univision. Latinos are a crucial portion of the vote and instead of hearing policies and ideas of about the f*ture of California, they heard Whitman give herself unwanted publicity and fire one of their own.

Mitt Romney is a well-known, vocal supporter of the deportation of illegal immigrants and is 100% against providing amnesty to illegal immigrants. He has opposed giving in-state tuition and driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Here are a few Mitt Romney quotes on immigration:

"You have to have a wall or a fence or electronic surveillance. And you have to have a tamper-proof document to make sure that people who are here are aliens are identified and registered, and people can not hire them unless they’re here legally." ( Source )

"Governor Mitt Romney is seeking an agreement with federal authorities that would allow Massachusetts state troopers to arrest undocumented immigrants for being in the country illegally. … "It’s one more thing you can do to make this a less attractive place for illegal aliens to come to work," said Romney." ( Source )

So, naturally, when he needed some landscaping done, he did what any staunchly-Republican, conservative, anti-immigration politician that should do more than a simple background check on one manager of a company would do -- he hired a landscaping company that was well known for hiring undocumented Guatemalan immigrants .

When the press asked him what he was thinking and implored him to give an explanation of the event, Romney simply said "Aw, geez" and walked away.

Lorraine Henderson, Homeland Security Officer

I'll say that again: director for Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection. She was the person who was charged with stopping/reporting illegal immigrants from entering the country via any sea or air international ports in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Was it mentioned that she also had in her command 190 armed, uniformed border protection officers?

Well, this person had to post her own bail of $25,000 because she broke her own laws. Which laws were these? Well, here we go...

Henderson was apparently under the belief that her job didn't "count" the people she hired to clean her house. No way. Even if they themselves were illegal employment. So, why would any illegal immigrant with half a brain work for her? Was it hardships, the need for money or... the mean-spirited, terrifying, unsolicited threats she would make? We can all safely say it's the latter.

When she got someone to work for her she told them to never leave the country, because if they did they would never come back. Here's the quote: once you leave, you will never come back."

Even worse, Henderson’s arrest over the whole matter happened because she recommended the housekeeper to a fellow official, who, when he found out, did his job and investigated, and then reported the "referral". BUSTED. During her time as an illegal immigrant employer, Henderson employed a Brazillian housekeeper who was an illegal immigrant for quite a long time, whom she only paid $75 a visit (WELL below the cost of a legal cleaning service.) After that woman took time off to have a child, Henderson went on to employ two other illegal immigrants, even after an agent informed her what she was doing was against the law.
